Heat is what makes a carpet extractor cut grease and traffic lane soil, and it is also what kills internal hose. The Sandia 10-0843-18 is the genuine 18-inch length of 3/8-inch black hose used on 150 psi Sniper machines built with an inline heater, and it is specified for that job because the section downstream of a heater sees temperatures ordinary hose is not built to live with day after day.
The buyer here is usually a contractor or facility technician who has noticed the machine losing pressure once it comes up to temperature, or who has found a stiff, glazed section of hose while servicing the heater. Replacing the correct heated-side length is a short bench job that restores full flow and removes a genuine burn and leak risk from a machine that is carrying hot solution.

Frequently asked questions
Why is there a separate hose for heated machines?
The section that carries solution near or after an inline heater runs much hotter than the rest of the plumbing. Sandia specifies a defined length and construction for that run so it holds up to sustained heat rather than softening and swelling.
Can I use the standard black hose here instead?
Substituting a hose that is not specified for the heated run is exactly the kind of parts substitution the Sandia warranty excludes, and a softened hose near a heater is a safety problem, not just a performance one. Use the part called out for the position.
My pressure drops only after the machine warms up. Is this the cause?
It is a common cause. A hose that has lost its wall strength will balloon once the solution is hot, which reduces flow at the jets. Inspect the heated-side run first, along with the inline filter.
How long is this hose?
The 10-0843-18 is supplied as an 18-inch length of 3/8-inch black hose, cut for the heated run on 150 psi Sniper machines.
Is my machine a 150 psi model?
Sniper extractors are built in several pressure configurations. Check the data plate or the model number on your machine, or contact us with the serial number and we will confirm which hose your unit takes.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer, so every part on this page is a genuine Sandia component built to the same tolerances as the one that shipped with your machine. Our US-based team works with these extractors every day and can help you confirm the right part number for your serial number before you order, which is usually faster than pulling the machine apart twice. If you keep a small shelf of wear parts on hand, you spend your day cleaning instead of waiting on a repair.
